Chukum for construction is made by mixing the resin of the tree, which has abundant tannins, which makes it have a dark red color (red wine) with white cement and limestone. With this mixture you can obtain different shades that vary within a range of warm, soft and organic ochers.
Chukum is a soft-textured finish named after its main ingredient (resin from chukum trees endemic to the Yucatan region of Mexico), which is mixed with white cement and limestone to create a type of stucco. There are few materials that have the versatility that the Chukum finish has.
Inspired by nature, we create architectural concepts incorporating natural elements such as wood, chukum finish, organic materials and decorative accessories, making this space a calm and timeless place.
In the Yucatán architects revive an ancient Mayan stucco technique for contemporary buildings, blending modern architecture with regional history and culture.
